The problem is even worse, the drive falls back to PIO mode and thereis no way I can get it back to dma mode (like I could by usinghdparm). The only thing i can do is reboot the machine so it will seethe drive is UDMA capable.

If there is some beta/gamma software around or something you'd like tohave tested, you can mail me directly, my machine is your privateprostitute at the moment, it's not like i have something important todo with the machine anyway (not related to this problem):)
